Lots of naming machinations for Fox this week, and now 'It's Messy' has been retitled 'The Mindy Project.' I won't be surprised if the name changes again by the time you see your TV listings in September.

Mindy is so hot imo, it doesn’t really matter as long as I get to see her on my TV screen.

Does FOX not know how to name shows? The Mindy Project is a better title though.

Observer

Where’s Mork?

Mike

better title: Who Needs Mork, It’s Mindy

Rebecca

If her character’s name is also Mindy, this would be okay. I don’t like the It’s Messy title…just sounds too gross considering she’s a doctor in the show.

Ultima

The need to change “The Following,” too!

iggy.

Mindy in the Middle

There goes my insightful Deadline comment…

Seriously, though, America has no idea who she is. Amazing that for such an incredible talent coming up with a title is so hard

SmG

Anna Camp (True Blood, TGW) is in this show too

Matto

Thats thee worse title in TV history…

Lucas

Why? Just why? In my opinion “It’s Messy” was a great title.

The Mindy Project is so boring… they should stay with It’s Messy

Xavier

Let me guess, it was Mindy’s overworked publicist who thought of the title.

Kinda doesn’t really matter what it’s called, Mindy has so little talent the show will be gone in 13 episodes max anyway.

I’m pretty sure her character’s name is Mira (it was at one point in the development process), so the new name makes even less sense than the first one. I really don’t think she’s all that well known beyond people who don’t watch The Office. Not sure if this’ll have the impact they’re looking for.

Of course, this has been a bad, bad year for titles.

The Mindy Project doesn’t really say anything about the show, and, like many other commenters have noted, she’s not a household name so that viewers at home would instantly think “Kaling!” when they hear Mindy’s name.

@Ultima

Isn’t The Following now called Mastermind?

Common Anomaly

Stork and Mindy?

Robert,
September? I won’t be surprised if it has yet another (hopefully better) title by Monday at Fox’s upfront.
